Although we are primarily a surf life saving club, we believe that training in related sports can only enhance your skills and performance. We carry out regular triathlon/run sessions, and all members are encouraged to come along and join in. The run sessions are free of charge for members (£1 non-members), and open to everyone. If you would like to train with the club on bikes, then you will have to join British Triathlon.

We offer a reduced membership to British Triathlon. There is an option to select this on the membership form and the membership secretary will contact you.

We give all members the chance to compete for the club in road running, cross-country, biathlon and triathlon races.

Spinning Training

We are looking to introduce a spinning (indoor cycling) session to our training schedule. It will be for a maximum of 10 people, 6.30-7.30pm Monday night at Tremough Campus. If you are interested please contact Allan asap. Places are limited and it will be a first come first served basis. It will cost £3.50 a session (£4 non-members) and will last for 10 weeks (you will book all 10 weeks, and pay up front).

Running Safe

Although the nights are getting darker, it doesn't mean that you have to be confined to the treadmill. Here's some tips about how to stay safe this winter…

• Safety In Numbers – Run with a friend or in a group (gylly!). A crowd of runners is far more visible than an individual.

• Know The Way – Don't run routes in the dark, that you haven't already run in the daylight. You are less likely to get lost and you'll be more aware of potential hazards along the way.

• Keep In Touch – You should take a mobile phone with you whenever you are running alone (day or night). Always tell someone where you are going, and when you'll be back.

• Be Aware – Try not to run with headphones, as you need to be alert at all times, especially at night. It increases your risk of being hit by a passing car that you cannot hear coming. Also, if you feel nervous about a place, person or situation, follow your instincts. Just turn around if you have apprehensions about anything.

• Stay Bright – Don't go running in dark colours. Try to wear bright yellow and orange, or purchase a white gylly running top (available soon). Even better, you can wear reflective strips on your arms and legs. These are very visible when they are moving and can be seen from greater distances.

• Know The Way – Don't run routes in the dark, that you haven't already run in the daylight. You are less likely to get lost and you'll be more aware of potential hazards along the way.
